Russell James + Epic + Canon Mount + An Angel

[Jarred Land]

Russell is an Icon in the fashion still world.. I have had the pleasure to spend some time with him over the last couple months and the man, and his work , have been truly inspiring.

He just finished shooting Victoria Secret last week at Pier 59.... Can't wait for you guys to see what they have done. They are field testing the EPIC Canon mount and making some truly incredible images.

From Russell :

"I had a rare perfect end of week and needed to share. Got my first hands-on experience with the Red Epic fitted with a lens adapter that allows me to use some of my favorite lenses!! I am in heaven!!! .... The RED camera continues to change the game in our world of photography meets film meets multi-media. "


For those that haven't seen this thread yet, Russell shot this a few weeks back on EPIC that was just released http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?60688-Russell-James-Lais-Ribero-Victoria-s-Secret

:drool5:

Not surprising how I wish I had that camera more than the model!

 

[Carlos Florez]

Smart, a hot girl with a hot Camera. Win Win.

what lenses are those?

 

[Ivan G]

What are you thinking?? Camera hands down!

 

[M.Halsell]

Jarred what is your take on the current progress and development of the Canon mount?

 

[Tony Lorentzen]

For those on Facebook - you should follow Russel on there. He shares a lot of his work - and enthusiasm for the Epic ;-)

 

[Gareth Gerrard]

Miranda Kerr holding an EPIC.... You have made me twice the jealous man Russell. Nice.

 

[John Heaney]

There is just SO much to like here... Although looking at that last photo - if you look at it long enough like a magic eye photo, does it become 3D?...

A Canon mount in NYC. Can't wait to see those shots.

The lens is as far as I can see the 14mm 2.8 L

 

[DCC Erickson]

I can't wait to get my hands on them -- it -- er, an Epic.

 

[Justin Harrison]

I'll take all 3! Another win for RED =)

Looks pretty nice...

But I'm looking forward to get my Leica R lenses with Novoflex LR to Canon EOS adaptor.

Nothing against Canon L or new Nikorr glass but it can't beat optically and with image quality of (old) Leica R glass (also it can't compare with newest Leica M and Leica S glass).

But best world photographers know that very well and I don't need always to be loud about it here.

Hey Jarred, on my still shoots I'm always shooting tethered to a computer. We're reviewing images in Capture 1 Pro as they come in, which is critical for being able to judge lighting, contrast and the ability to zoom in to 100% for styling/props/focus. I often have art directors checking gestures and body language on talent as the shots come in so we know when we've got "it." What would a similar Epic Stills workflow be like? I can't imagine that the Victoria's Secret art directors aren't monitoring some sort of real time feed....???

Thanks!
CB

Jarred what is your take on the current progress and development of the Canon mount?

Well, there is a Canon mount on an Epic on a major shoot... Hmmm. What could that mean?

 

[Curran Giddens]

I think that qualifies as camera porn! Should make it into a calendar...

 

[Jarred Land]

Jarred what is your take on the current progress and development of the Canon mount?

Production Titanium mounts should start shipping in early late August / early September.

Russell is an inspiration. Go Aussies!

Great stuff Jarred, thanks for posting. Big fan of Russell's and definitely want to see anything he does with the Epic (that is allowed to be shared, of course). Keep it comin' ....
